Lifting Literature

[Vick7272]

Does anyone know where I can find literature which shows sling angle and sling length to spec wire rope slinging as well as padeyes for 4 point lifts?

Try looking at BS EN 13414 Steel Wire Rope Slings - Safety. It gives working load limits for sling sets. It is pretty conservative for a four leg sling as it assumes only three legs take any load, but it will give you an idea.

Also supplier catalogues such as Crosby and Bridon contain lots of good stuff.

The LEEA that Steve directed you to have some publications such as the Lifting Engineers Handbook.

Another useful one is the International Rigging and Lifting Handbook by North Sea Lifting. Both of these books are called 'handbooks', but pocket books would be better as they are pretty small.

OSHA 1926.251 has guidelines for different wire rope types. I believe there are ASME B30 pubilications addressing this issue as well.
